University to provide health care to 50-60 additional employees ALAN HAVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu
Ball State employees will be paying more for health care next year. As a part of a new health care policy, rates for faculty will increase 16.5 percent across the board. This means there will be increases between $9 and $61 in monthly premiums, depending on the chosen plan. Effective Jan. 1, 2015, increases are a result of the university’s compliance with components of the Affordable Care Act and the start of its first full year with Anthem, the new health care provider. Changes to the university’s health care plan were approved at the Board of Trustees’ last meeting, Oct. 10.

The control of health care costs falls under one aspect of the university’s strategic plan for 2017.

POSITIVE TURNOVER MARGIN KEYS STREAK Cardinals 2-1 in games since Milas took over as starting quarterback ROBBY GENERAL STAFF REPORTER | rjgeneral@bsu.edu It’s a cliché almost as old as the game of football itself — whichever team wins the turnover battle, wins the game. Since changing starting quarterbacks after a 33-24 loss to Army, Ball State has accomplished just that. “We have a redshirt freshman quarterback playing his third game. We’ve had one turnover in three weeks. I think that’s pretty good,” head coach Pete Lembo said. Milas has not only protected the ball well, he’s yet to have a turnover, but he also jump-started an offense that had failed to score
more than 24 points since week one. The Cardinals are 2-1 in Milas’s starts, with the self-proclaimed gunslinger throwing for 749 yards and five touchdowns. Coincidentally, the resurgence of junior wide receiver Jordan Williams coincides with Milas taking over under center. The duo has connected for 323 pass yards, two touchdowns and has developed a tight bond both on and off the field. “I just have to trust the guys around me. Once you start hesitating, then things can go very wrong,” Milas said, “You can’t hesitate. You just have to trust yourself and trust your teammates.” The team’s running attack has also improved, with senior running back Jahwan Edwards rushing for 296 yards and five touchdowns in the last three games.

TURNER:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Turner said he’s also working on getting more elevation in his 3-pointers as well. Another big adjustment for Turner has been coming for months. Late last season, Ball State head coach James Whitford expressed interest in Turner playing off the ball more this season, taking some ball-handling duties away to take a little pressure off him. With the addition of transfer guard Jeremiah Davis, that change is still in the plans. Davis is expected to miss at least eight weeks with an injury, however, so Turner’s transition to playing off the ball will likely occur gradually until later in the season. One of the biggest challenges in playing more off the ball is the tendency to stand around and watch the player with the ball. “You have to be just as in tune to the game when you don’t have the ball as when you do,” Whitford said. ”That’s not something many guys in high school are used to doing. If you watch an NBA game, and take a moment to watch the four guys who don’t have the ball, they’re always moving or playing off each other.” It’s important for Turner -and other players -- to keep moving when they don’t have the ball, not only to set up possible shots for themselves or teammates, but also to keep the opponent off guard. It’s much easier for defenders to help on dribble penetra-

tions when their player is simply standing in one spot. “A guy drives, you relocate,” Whitford said. “You’re playing off it. It helps when you get open that way. We really worked with him on that.” Playing off the ball could also open up opportunities for him to hit 3-pointers coming off screens. Turner hit 61 3-pointers last season, the most of any freshman in Ball State history. Most of those came off the dribble. Turner said he feels confident and excited about playing off the ball more this season, citing his experience in high school with it. “Especially playing alongside [high school teammate and NBA free agent] Marquis Teague, I have a lot of experience playing off the ball. Also, my senior year, it was a three-guard rotation. We had a three-guard offense, so I was playing off the ball a lot.”
IN THE WEIGHT ROOM
One of Turner’s defining characteristics is his small stature. Even that is changing a little bit for Turner. His weight, at times at 178 last season, is down to 168 this season, but his muscle mass has increased. It was coordinated with Turner, Whitford and Jason Roberson, Ball State’s head strength and conditioning coach. “He’ll rebound better, he’ll defend more strongly,” Roberson said. “He can take on bigger guys when they switch a screen, things of that nature,” Turner also had to change his diet some to accommodate the weight loss. “It just comes along with just eating right,” Turner said. ”I’ve

been talking to my coach about it all the time. ... I’m trying to eat more grilled chicken and stuff like that -- more vegetables.” Roberson said their biggest focus for Turner was making sure he didn’t lose any of the speed that helped him so much last season. Turner’s weight was evaluated four days a week, coinciding with workouts over the offseason. His speed was checked weekly to make sure the added muscle wasn’t slowing him down. He showed last year he has
the ability to run by many defenders in the MAC, often for a layup or kicking it outside to continue the play. “If you thought he was fast last year, he’ll be even faster this year,” Roberson said.
One part of Turner’s game that Whitford said he wants to see improvements in is his awareness and learning more of the flow of the game as a point guard. “That’s much harder to do than you realize, having an
awareness of the entire court and the flow of the game and what’s going on,” Whitford said. “A year ago, we didn’t have a lot of shooters, so I think he felt the pressure to do a lot to score. I think this year he recognizes that we have more guys around him that can score. So [he needs to learn] to give it up at the right times where those guys can be in position to make a play.” At times, Turner would shoot himself into a funk on offense, leading to poor possessions. He
had some masterful offensive games, going 5-of-11 from the field with five assists against Marquette, but he would have some games where he’d go 2-for-10 with seven turnovers, like against Western Michigan last season. “He’s getting better with it each day,” Whitford said. “He’s got more scoring options around him. So putting those guys in position to be successful – that’s the greatest step he has to take as a player. It’s what our team really needs him to do.”
sixth seed in the tournament. “Miami is a really athletic team, so I’ve really been working hard with the girls this week to prepare them for competing with that kind of a match,” Roberts said. The match will also make a difference where the Cardinals will be seeded. Ball State is tied with Eastern Michigan at the top of the West Division, but the Eagles own the tiebreaker, meaning the Cardinals need a win and an Eastern Michigan loss in order to win the West Division outright. “We are going into this game like it’s a normal game,” Roberts said. “We know this game carries weight going into the tour-
nament but we aren’t going to treat it as something special.” If the Cardinals were to go on to win the MAC tournament, that would give them the chance to enter the NCAA
tournament, something that Ball State has never done before. The Cardinals will close the regular season today before looking ahead to
tournament play. “We try not to look far into the future, we try to take everything step-by-step and game-by-game,” senior Victoria Jacobs said.
IN THE FLOW OF THE GAME
Team looks to build on runner-up finish last season Last weekend, Ball State clinched a spot in the MidAmerican Conference tournament and now have one more regular season match before the tournament starts on Nov. 2. This is the fourth consecutive season that coach Craig Roberts’s squad has made it to the tournament, and last year’s team had the best finish in school history, making it all the way to the MAC championship match. The Cardinals fell just short in the championship, and many of the players said they have not forgotten that feeling. “It was heartbreaking for us to go farther than any team in our school history and then just fall short,” senior Cailey Starck said. Twenty players returned from
FOOTBALL:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Not to be outplayed by the offense, Ball State’s defense has also experienced a turnaround. Through the first six games, in which Ball State went 1-5, the defense recorded only seven turnovers. Since, the unit has 12 takeaways, includ-
the runner-up season, looking to return to the championship match. Those players can use the feeling and the experience they took from the title match loss and use it as an advantage. “We want to repeat what we did last year, and now we have a drive to be the team that goes farther than any in team history and win the [MAC] championship,” Starck said. Although the team is looking forward to the tournament, Ball State’s next challenge is the last regular season game, where they will take on Miami (Ohio). The Redhawks hold the second-best record in the MAC. In the same situation last year, Miami beat Ball State and pushed them back to the
ing 10 in the last two games. “These past two weeks we’re really focused on our assignments, and really playing hard in the second half,” linebacker Zack Ryan said. After allowing Akron to gain 214 yards and three touchdowns on its first four possessions, the defense clamped down and held the Zips to only 111 yards the rest of the game.
With such a young group of players, the team needed some time to grow into its own, and it is beginning to look as if it’s found its rhythm. “This is a young group that’s still learning,” Lembo said. “They know where they’re at. They know that we have to stay after it to get the kind of performance we want.”

The chime of a bell sounds from a cellphone. Three minutes later, another. Three more minutes, another. With each chime, an hour workout that is perfectly timed by the chime of a bell that rings off from a small phone in the corner, each ring signaling the end of the round. This sound tells boxers to find a new partner to practice with, to move to the next set of gloves to land the perfect punch on. While I practiced with Ball State’s Non-Competitive Boxing Club, that was all I heard: the small ring of a bell mixed with the sound of glove hitting bag. I’ll watch just about any sport. When I can afford it, I plan to subscribe to every channel ESPN offers. But, there are few sports that you won’t find on my television — boxing is one of them. My relationship with boxing lasted the first 36 minutes of “Rocky” and those fancy jump rope routines you told yourself you could do in gym class but never actually tried. I’m guilty of assuming that anyone could throw a punch on a bag. Of course, I would never want to fight anything that could hit me
back, but clocking a 100-pound sand bag seemed easy enough. I expected some sore muscles and a little sweat, but I never anticipated the workout I received practicing with Ball State’s Non-Competitive Boxing Club. As I found out, boxing is more than landing a punch here or a jab there. Fundamentals are key in boxing. Foot placement, hip movement and breathing are all techniques one needs to consider in the ring. The various punch combinations are not an aspect of the sport the club’s participants take lightly either. The first hour of practice is spent solely learning how to throw a proper right uppercut or how to land a left hook. After only two practices with the club, I’ve gained an appreciation for the sport that I never would have by simply watching Floyd Mayweather fight on the couch. Learning how detailed and skillful boxing is makes the whole concept of punching a bag that much more exciting. Anyone can throw a punch, but how many can master the skill and endurance it takes to land the perfect 1-2-3-2 combo?

here is no other way to put it: zombies are in. Any Halloween party you go to this season, there will likely be several zombies, so you want to stand out. This tutorial will show you how to do simple makeup that will set you apart from the other walking dead.
1
Pull your hair up and out of your face and apply a level of foundation all over your skin. You want to use foundation that is a few shades lighter than your actual skin tone. This doesn’t have to be perfect, none of this does. In fact, the messier the better.
This tutorial was done with the help of Emily Huffer and Chelsea Westbrook, who both work for the Muncie haunted house Scarevania.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: • Foundation a couple shapes
• Fake blood (Look for waterlighter than your natural skin tone based, so it won’t stain your clothing) •Red lipstick •Various makeup applicators • Eye shadow in browns and blacks •Conditioner • Liquid latex (can be found at any •Dirty clothes costume shop) •Thin toilet paper
3 4
Tear holes in the latex to make them look like blisters or tears in the skin. Once it’s dry, use more foundation to blend the latex wounds into your skin.
2
Apply your wounds with the liquid latex (Warning: An allergy to latex is common. So before you put it on your face, test a little bit on the back of your hand to make sure you’re not going to have a bad reaction.) There are two ways that you can do this. The first is by applying some of the latex to your skin, then layering some thin toilet paper with more latex. Do about seven layers of this. The other way to add a latex wound is to cake the latex onto the skin, then let it dry half way (latex will dry clear, so you will be able to tell).
6 7 8
Add other colors to the face. Use red lipstick to the wounds to make them look bloody. Add a trail of black from the mouth down the neck for another layer of gore. Use a red lip liner pen to draw on veins around the mouth, eyes and hairline.
Add same fake blood, playing special attention to the wounds that you’ve created. The more it’s dripping, the better.
5
Start adding eye shadow around the eyes to give a tired look. Use browns, blacks and red to give a super dramatic look. Blending is key, and you can never add too much. You can also use red lipstick to add extra heavy colors.
9
We did this on just the face, but for a full look you can do it on the neck and arms. To make the zombie hair look, apply heavy conditioner to give it a dirty, dingy look. You can also tease it up to give it that worn look. For your clothing, simply don some extra dirty clothes, possibly applying some of your fake blood to it.

Jones is best known for his past theater work: “Abe Sapien” from “Hell Boy,” the “Fawn” and the “Pale Man” from “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Silver Surfer” from “The the Fantastic Four.”
Q: How did you receive the part of “Billy Butcherson”? A: “ Well...my manager at the time knew the casting director pretty well, and so he made a phone call when he saw the breakdown come out, but that meant it set up an audition for me, so from that point on it was up to me. So the audition was with Kenny Ortega, our director, and instead of doing it in a casting office with a desk and a chair, it was in a dance studio because Ortega was and still is not only a film director, but he’s also a very good choreographer. So movement and body shapes were very important to him, he’s a very visual director... Without much dialogue in the script to audition with, he wanted us to act like we were waking up from a grave, so get over

to the other side of dance studio, do a wake up, stand up and be goofy and funny and creepy as you can...It was one of those auditions where I drove away feeling very confident that I’d done a pretty good job. By the time I got home, the call was already waiting for me on my answering machine.” Q: Did you have to go through any other “Billy” training, like running, walking or talking like him? A: “ Not training from anyone else. That was my responsibility. As an
actor, when you take on a role, it’s the actor’s job to read the script, interpret that script and sit down with your director and say, ‘Here’s my vision for the character that I want to play,’ and the director might say, ‘Well, that’s exactly fitting with my vision,’ or ‘Here’s another quirk I want you to work into it.’ It’s a collaborative effort. We developed a walk and a basic stance for him. And being dry as dust, they put dust on me all the time, almost before every take, every scene that I did, so that dust would fly off of
my clothes or my hair, so I also looked like I had just come out of the earth. So being that dry and dead inside, I was a reanimated dead body. His movement would not be fluid and healthy, it would be like he had just woken up from a 300-year nap.” Q: How did they do the moths coming out of your mouth? A: “ The first line of action was to have real moths come out of my mouth, so I was wearing a protective, latex sheath in my mouth that tried to keep the moths as
dry as possible. They had a moth trainer who came with the moths, and he was an expert on how they flew and what keeps them healthy. Moths are very dry, and if they get moist at all they’re not going to fly. The key was to keep them as dry as possible so that they would fly out of my mouth and flutter into the air. They would place these moths into the rubbery sheath over my tongue and the moth trainer used tweezers [to carry them] from their cage into my mouth. Then, the make-up artists, Tony Gardner and Margaret Prentice, would have to run in and lightly tack glue my stitches across my mouth, so that I could take that knife and run that across the pre-cut stitches and
cough out the moths and the dust.” Q: How long were you in make-up for your character? A: “ It was relatively short. Usually a job like this where you’re covered in a complete transformation make-up, you’re looking at a minimum of three hours or up to seven hours. The face and neck was all one piece with two ears that were put on each side and glued onto my skin, and a wig and gloves went on. I had an under suit that had arms and legs built into it with zombie skin on them, so I could slip that on like a leotard. All that was done in about an hour and half.”

“NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD” (1968)
Running time: 95 minutes Have you ever wondered why this movie is such a cult classic? I did. So when I finally saw the zombie-infested story, dramatic lighting and splattertastic gore, I understood the appeal of this 1968 George A. Romero film. Yes, this is recognized as a typical zombie film, but it’s so much more than that. Not only does the word “zombie” never once creep into the dialogue, but the film also redefines what it means to be a zombie. Inspired by Richard Matheson’s novel, “I Am Legend,” Romero said “Night of the Living Dead” is about revolution and how those affected react to it. It’s not about the zombies; it’s about the human response to the challenges they present. As far as the aesthetics go, the lighting is phenomenal in creating mood. It has its faults, as the light source is never shown and there are shadows where there shouldn’t be, but the tension is drastically enhanced with the frugal use of necessary light. This allowed the background to go almost
Now is the season for horror movies, but which are the best to watch? Netflix has a lot of classic movies, but there are also many to avoid. These 3 films stand out as some of the best to watch this Halloween for excellent tricks and treats. “BLAIR WITCH PROJECT” (1999)

entirely black, leaving the audience in the dark, and gave a clandestine effect to the plot. Along with its fantastic lighting, the film also practically invented the word “splatter.” In one of the most pivotal scenes, one of the living dead stabs a woman with a garden spade. The effect is magnificent. The blood stains and obvious disregard for realism makes this film a work of art. In fact, Romero is credited for inspiring the horror film subgenre called “splatter cinema.”
Running time: 81 minutes With an experimental film like this, you’re bound to have doubts about its merit. However, if you’re looking for a film that commits to its documentarian storyline, doesn’t show its malefactor, and reveals more emotion than an episode of “Days of Our Lives,” this film is for you. When you start this film, you should not expect to see a finished product. “The Blair Witch Project” is centered around three college kids, Heather, Josh and Michael, who go into an infamous forest on their quest to make an honest documentary about its haunting. Anticipate a documentary in the process, as that is what the film is about. This explains the shaky shots, unedited sequences and jerky camera movements, as well as the in-the-moment fear you feel when you can’t look away. And you can’t look away because you keep hoping to see what is causing so much terror in the three main characters. Spoiler alert: you never do. That’s the true beauty of this film — fear of the unknown is greater than fear of the thing itself. You can’t fight something when you don’t know what it is, and this
“THE AWAKENING” (2011)

is the challenge the characters face throughout the film. This is evident when you see the characters’ uncensored feelings when they hear mysterious noises outside their tent, see strange arrangements in the sticks surrounding them in the forest and get lost in the never-ending trees and rivers. Not only is there intense fear guiding their emotions, but there is also intense anger. Much tension arises between the three as they travel deeper into the forest, and the way they show it is not easy to forget.
Running time: 95 minutes This 2011 film is not so much scary as it is spooky. It has a way of making your spine tingle without making your heart drop to your stomach. With its disbelief in the supernatural, its ominous boarding school setting and strong female lead, this film is for the classy bunch. Unlike most horror films, “The Awakening” finds a way to dig itself out of the paranormal cliché and still genuinely frighten its audience. The plot is based around Florence Cathcart, who makes a living debunking ghost stories. However, don’t be fooled by her occupation; strange events occur, and at some point, Cathcart comes up empty for an explanation. “There’s no place on Earth people understand loneliness better than here” is how the housekeeper — eerily played by Imelda Staunton, aka Dolores Umbridge — describes the boarding school. It’s safe to say this locale is already dismal at best. Add in a couple of ghosts and a roomful of sad children, and you’ve got quite the setting for a horror film. The colors and lighting used in this film make the

backdrop even more foreboding. Finally, a horror film with an intelligent and confident woman as the main character. Compared to “Night of the Living Dead,” with its limp and unmotivated leading lady, this movie is from a different world. Cathcart starts the film with a smart and cutting attitude, and ends with an emotional revelation that will leave the audience stunned. She is a breath of fresh air with her ability to keep calm under pressure, as well as her brutally honest analysis of the house and its inhabitants.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” will be retuning to Ball State midnight on Halloween. The Rocky Horror Shadow Cast, which recently became an official campus group, puts on the production annually.
“Basically, when we got there, we had to figure out what we were going to do on the spot,” Hubert said. Malia Eden, a junior elementary education major who plays Janet Weiss, said the stage size allowed them to better interact with the audience. “We were allowed to get in their faces and be right there because the stage was so small,” Eden said. “It worked out really well.” She said performing at the grill was surreal. “Me and the guy playing Riff

ally be a part of the cast, to see all these things being thrown at you and trying to work with it,” Hubert said. Along with having an outside-of-Ball-State performance, the cast is also moving to Emens Auditorium this year, because last year the group had to turn more than 200 people away at John J. Pruis Hall, said Brianna Bradley, the director of the show. “We didn’t have any more seats, and that was with sneaking people in and letting them sit in the aisles,” Bradley said. “So we don’t want to tell people, ‘You can’t come.’ We want as many people in as possible.” The cast performs the show at midnight on Halloween, and the doors open at 11 p.m.

Butler student combines passions Final project uses theater to explore universal issues
|
SARA DREIBELBIS GUEST REPORTER sdreibelbis@bsu.edu
When Julia Levine, a senior at Butler University, had the opportunity to create anything she wanted for her senior honors thesis project, she decided to combine two of her greatest passions: theater and sustainability. The result was “Gaia,” a short eco-theater play that makes audiences think about how their everyday actions contribute to the world as a whole. Levine will share the play and its message with fellow college students from throughout Indiana at the third annual EcoSummit on Saturday. The conference will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ball State’s L.A. Pittenger Student Center. It will highlight sustainability and climate issues in a discussionbased setting. The conference will offer a day of panel discussions and idea-sharing sessions aimed to get students thinking about solutions to climate change and sustainability issues, said Jim Poyser, the executive director of Earth Charter Indiana and one of the organizers of the EcoSummit. “I wanted to create a play from the ground up,” Levine said. “I’ve always been interested in ecology and passionate about issues concerning global climate change, so I decided my play would address questions about how we as humans impact and are impacted by the natural environment.” The name “Gaia” comes from the name of the Greek god-
dess of the Earth. Levine said she was inspired in part by the work of British scientist James Lovelock, who saw the Earth as a self-sustaining living organism. This theory is known as the Gaia theory, and it’s the basis for Levine’s play. “I was immediately drawn to Gaia, both in the mythological and the scientific uses, so my play became about how life on Earth is interconnected – how the local is global,” Levine said. Levine’s play is not the first to combine concepts of sustainability with theater. According to Dillon Slagle’s blog on HowlRound, an online community for theater ideas and discussion, eco-theater plays “put the natural world in conversation with human socio-economic concerns in the context of interpersonal relationships.” Levine said her play does exactly that. She said she focused on sustainability issues in the Indianapolis area to give a local context to broader ideas. “The play is about how our actions – our day-to-day, mundane actions – have consequences, whether immediate or not,” Levine said. “Each scene in the play poses specific questions that fit into those broader categories, so the play also becomes about how we communicate with one another, where we find entertainment and much more.” Beyond that, Levine said the play isn’t actually about any-
HEALTHCARE: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “[Ball State’s new third party administrator], Anthem’s recommended changes that the university has accepted are considered best practices in the industry,” Hannon said. For non-smokers, the university will continue to offer a reduced tobacco-free premium. The price for the tobacco-free plans will still be lower compared to other plans. Among the changes are a number of new optional and automatic programs, along with limitations on certain medical procedures. In response to an employee survey from 2012, the university has added an optional short-term disability coverage for non-service employees. For service faculty, who engage in manual labor, the university already covers shortterm as a part of their health care. Previously, faculty, professional and staff employees had to save vacation and sick days to account for short-term disability until
thing specific. She said the play’s purpose was not to impress one message or moral on the audience, but instead to start conversation and contemplation. Levine will show footage of the play, which was performed at Butler University in September, at the EcoSummit and lead a discussion about it. She said she’s excited to contribute to and learn more from the diverse crowd at the conference. Along with Levine’s presentation, discussions will take place on eco-activism, the role of policy in climate change, permaculture initiatives and mountaintop removal, and presenters will stage a game show about climate change. “I’m interested in how other people address sustainability through their work, in whatever field it may be,” Levine said. “I’m looking forward to sharing ideas that we can apply to our own work and on our campuses to work toward positive change.” Change is the ultimate goal for Levine, and she said that starts with changing the ways people think. She hopes that “Gaia” and other works of eco-theater can be catalysts for important conversations on climate issues. “The arts are powerful in the way they creatively approach problems,” Levine said. “The way that artists create and the perceptions contributed by audiences open up a dialogue about issues facing our world.”

long-term kicked in after 60 days. The new benefit can last 13 or 26 weeks with a waiting period of eight or 30 days. Premiums for the new voluntary option are based on age, length of benefits and waiting period chosen. Ball State will provide new programs and tools, including a chronic disease management program, a 24/7 nurse line, an imaging management program and cost estimate tool. Employees with a chronic disease, such as diabetes or asthma, will be able to receive individualized plans and preventive help. Hannon hopes the added programs will help lower costs to the university. “Chronic diseases lead to the catastrophic claims that hit us hard,” Hannon said. “If we can control them before folks end up in a nursing home or need a transplant, it will bring the costs down. So we are hoping that is where Anthem will be really helpful.” The other programs will also aim to reduce costs, Hannon said. By having a nurse always accessible by phone to provide medical
advice, employees should be able to avoid going to the emergency room in some situations. “Our claim trend showed that a large portion of our members’ emergency room visits were for non-emergencies, like sinus infections or stomachaches,” Hannon said. “We certainly are not discouraging members from going to the emergency room for true emergencies; we simply want them to consider going to an urgent care facility or to their family doctor’s office for their primary care.” However, the other tools work in helping determine where to get the best tests and procedures by comparing clinic, lab and hospital prices in the area. Across all plans, employees can expect coinsurance rates for visits to places outside of their healthcare network to drop from 60 percent to 50 percent. However, emergency room co-pay will increase from $100 to $200, but will be waived if there is admittance into the ER. If faculty members do not enroll between Nov. 3 and Nov. 21, chosen benefits from last year will remain the same.
